Place du Portage III AWR Project overview

Project Overview

The Place du Portage complex was built in the 1970s and consists of:

• 9 towers
• commercial areas
• 4 basement levels
• a 3-level underground parking garage

The PDP3 AWR project consists of a complete overhaul of both the inside and outside of the building. As part of the planned midlife renewal work, we are doing much-needed renovations and are replacing systems that have reached the end of their useful life. The project includes:

• replacing base building systems, such as: • windows • the building exterior (also known as the building envelope) • plumbing • electrical systems • heating and cooling systems • modernizing the interior workplace • updating security systems • installing new information technology

The project considers GoC priorities, including:

• greening
• Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) measures
• universal accessibility
• inclusivity, including reaching out to Indigenous people
• wellness

The renewed PDP3 building is being designed to meet the modern workplace standard for the GoC known as GCworkplace which offers greater flexibility in where and how people work and suits the needs of a post-pandemic, hybrid workforce.
